Could you ship some gas to me? I just noticed that some stations around Atlanta are up to $3.99. :-?

46 miles each way and I paid 2.99 hardly worth it for the way this company is going down the toilet

$2.89 here @ the station across from Ford Amphitheatre..... I have decided to stop every few days or so... just to keep the tank full. May not be necessary, but dont want to take the chance! :roll:

I actually JUST got out a departmental meeting where we were discussing people working from home on a rotating schedule because of the cost of gas.

Of course, doesn't help me at all since I'm the one who has to come in off hours all the time when things are down or need maintenance :( Just adds extra trips into the office during the week.

Gas was 2.61 yesterday morning, 2.89 yesterday afternoon, and 3.19 this morning.

Also got a notification that our gas and electric bills were just raised this morning as well.

Happy day :( :( :(

Yes, that one is down in Buckhead. Its one of the ones "currently under investigation." Something is a little suspect when this gas station is charging $6 per gallon when the one 15 miles up the street is at $3.15. :roll: :x

I literally haven't driven my car in 4 days... I don't even know if I want to drive places now unless it's a complete necessity like for groceries or p*** or something. It's all CTA for me... :-?

I don't remember the last time I drove - I know it was a beer run for the people at the house, maybe Sat. I was close to empty then. I've got to go get gas today and I'm kinda afraid :-?
